What reviewers said
Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro
The Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro pack a hefty feature set into a budget-friendly wireless earbud package, including adaptive noise cancellation, LDAC support, multipoint connectivity, and wireless charging. They deliver solid sound with crisp treble and effective call quality, though the charging case can feel gimmicky and prone to fingerprints, and spatial audio falls short. Overall, they're a well-rounded value pick rather than a flagship-level performer.
- Pro:Strong active noise cancellation
- Pro:Wide codec support including LDAC
- Pro:Multipoint and wireless charging included
- Con:Charging case feels gimmicky and smudges easily
- Con:Spatial audio performance is weak
- Con:Battery life is average for the price
Tronsmart Apollo Air and Air+
The Tronsmart Apollo Air and Air+ are true wireless earbuds that deliver solid active noise cancellation, clear call performance, and a warm, comfortable sound profile suitable for daily use. However, reliability concerns, such as one earbud failing to power on when removed from the case, make them a risky pick despite their otherwise capable feature set.
- Pro:Effective hybrid ANC for the price
- Pro:Good call quality with six microphones
- Pro:Warm, pleasant sound signature
- Con:Occasional power-on issue with one earbud
- Con:No multipoint connectivity
- Con:No wireless charging support
